In human face-to-face communication, not only verbal messages but also non-verbal behaviors such as facial expressions, body movements, and gazes are conveyed; these non-verbal behaviors can express human affect. In addition, it leads to sharing of empathy unconsciously in human interaction and enhancing intimacy between humans. In particular, cognitive empathy as well as emotional empathy play an important role in sharing of empathy. Therefore, it is expected to evaluate emotional empathy based on the features of affect for enhancing intimacy. In this study, for the basic research of evaluating emotional empathy, a method that estimates the emotional centroid based on the coordinate system in the Russell’s circumplex model was proposed. In addition, the experiment was conducted to evaluate the proposed method. The results demonstrated that the method has a possibility to estimate the features of affect.

We have already developed an embodied communication system with the pupil response and demonstrated that the pupil response plays an important role in realizing smooth human interaction and communication. Therefore, the pupil response has possibilities to enhance a sharing of empathy and to convey rich affects such as a pleasure with laugh. Hence, in order to develop communication systems which enhance empathy, it is desired to design the media representation of pupil response. In this paper, focusing on the laugh with pleasure emotion as a typical pleasure affect, we analyzed the relation between laugh and pupil response using a pupil measurement device, and developed a pupil response system for inducing empathy by laugh response based on speech input. In addition, we evaluated the pupil response with the laugh by using the developed system. The results demonstrated that the dilated pupil response with the laugh is effective for enhancing empathy.
